The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

Atoms with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons are called isotopes.

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the atomic number of a chemical element is the total number of protons that each atom of that element has. It is usually represented with the letter Z.

The atoms of different elements have different numbers of electrons and protons. An atom in its natural state is neutral and has an equal number of electrons and protons. A sodium atom (Na) has an atomic number of 11; It has 11 electrons and 11 protons. A magnesium atom (Mg), has an atomic number of 12, has 12 electrons, 12 protons and a uranium atom (U), which has an atomic number of 92, has 92 electrons and 92 protons.

How can mutations be helpful? Give 2 examples
RSB [31]
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)

This type of inheritance pattern shows BOTH traits in possible offspringand is not a blending or intermediate
olganol [36]

Answer:

The correct answer is - d. codominance.

Explanation:

Complete dominance is the pattern of inheritance where one allele masked the other allele completely in a heterozygous condition. Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance where both the alleles blend or form intermediate phenotype in heterozygous condition.

The codominance pattern of inheritance is similar to the incomplete dominance but instead of making a blend of both alleles, it expresses both alleles together in patches or pattern.

Which part of a prosthetic limb keeps the prosthetic attached to the residual limb?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

C. Suspension system

Explanation:

When dealing with prosthetic limbs the suspension system is how the prosthetic remains attached to the residual limb. This system makes sure that the prosthetic is firmly attached and only has the necessary movement for the prosthetic but nothing more. There are a couple of different suspension systems, the three most widely used ones would be Anatomic suspension, belt suspensions, and upper limb suspension systems.
